War was a constant presence in the ancient Greek world, since the time of the Homeric poems, in which the god Ares walks among hosts of warriors engaging in countless battles. It is not rare to find inscriptions commemorating men who died on the battlefield.

The text in this episode is an inscription from Akraiphia (Boeotia) from the beginning of the 3rd century BC. It commemorates Eugnotos, warrior who died during the Boeotian revolts against Demetrius Poliorcetes: he took his life after having been defeated on the battlefield.

Details of the inscription: GVI 1603. The English trasnlation and the quotes are from J. Ma, ‘The many lives of Eugnotos of Akaiphia’, «Studi Ellenistici» 16 (2005), pp. 141-191.


This episode was written by Davide Massimo in collaboration with James Hua; reading by James Hua; soundtrack by Gilberto Bartoloni.
